The info I have shows the following for interior grey colors:

1984-1986 Charcoal Grey
1987-1989 Medium Grey
1990-1992 Titanium Grey
1993 Opal Grey

I'm not sure if it matters, but the car was built later in the 1989 model year, it's got that 25th anniversary deal on the dash, so I'm not 100% sure what color is right ?If I had to guess I would say the Medium Grey....I guess

Titanium is light. Well, it’s supposed to be.

Warm day, cold beer and a car show, and finally after nine years a trophy ! 2nd place in the Mustang pre 1997 class, the fact that I got something with all the 60's Mustangs there is a miracle.

It's a perfect condition car. What did you expect with that nice paint. The only sad thing is you have to have plates up front

Very nice, congrats!

As for plates up front that's also the law here in TX, but there's no chance I'm going to run a front plate on my mustang when I get it back. IDGAF if I get pulled over.

Funny thing is in N.J. it's been the law for so long, that I don't even notice how the front plate looks , till someone mentions it ..

Just read this entire thread tonight.. very informative. You're car looks killer. Im a fellow Jersey guy too. As luck would have it, there's a bill being proposed now to get rid of front plates. Hopefully it's law by next year when I plan on getting a new front bumper. Also on 9/11/22, the Cars and Coffee in Millstone NJ is doing the All Ford Show (no fees to enter). Hopefully i'll see you around when my build is done.

I did see some news about the front plate going away in N.J., unfortunately it's too late for me haha, good luck with your build and hopefully we run into each other some day.

Nothing new, but can't believe it's been 7 years now that I installed this Trickflow top end, still runs great and showing it off at a cruise night with some awesome weather for once in NJ.

It's been a bit since the Trickflow treatment and no regrets, still running strong with no issues, thinking about some Makers pinch weld covers, would love some chrome ponies too..

What AC compressor is that? I really like how the line clears the upper.

It was a company called Hose Wizards, 134R conversion from over ten years ago. Not sure they are even in business anymore.

Didn't get out much this year, life and stuff, but car is still running great, thinking about the 17" staggered 10 holes from LMR ,or maybe finally the chrome ponies ? Got some other minor stuff I wanna do. Gonna get rid of the under drive pulleys from 20 ears ago, tired of the dimming headlights at every traffic light.

What’s wrong with the current wheels?

If you do change, chrome ponies gets my vote!

I guess I'm just bored with the Cobra type wheels, wondering how it would look with something else.
